About the Role
Reporting to the Data and Analytics Manager, the Senior Data Engineer is responsible for designing, building, and maintaining scalable data infrastructure and pipelines to support analytics, reporting, and machine learning initiatives. Their main objective is to ensure high-quality data is efficiently extracted, transformed, and loaded, making it readily accessible for analytics, machine learning, and business applications. It plays a critical role in enabling data-driven decision-making by making high-quality data accessible and usable across the organization.
Key Responsibilities
Design, build, and maintain robust data pipelines and ETL processes.
Leverage technologies such as Apache Airflow, dbt, Kafka, Spark, and cloud-native ETL tools (e.g., AWS Glue, Azure Data Factory, GCP Dataflow) to ensure reliability and fault tolerance.
Develop and manage data models and data warehouse architecture.
Build and maintain modern cloud data warehouse platforms (e.g., Snowflake, Redshift, BigQuery, Azure Synapse) following dimensional modeling and data vault methodologies.
Ensure data quality, integrity, and governance across all data systems.
Establish data quality checks, validation rules, and anomaly detection frameworks to maintain high standards of data trustworthiness.
Contribute to and enforce data governance policies, metadata management, and data lineage documentation to support regulatory compliance and transparency.
Collaborate with data scientists, analysts, and business units to understand data needs.
Co-design data solutions that align with stakeholder goals, streamline experimentation, and enable self-service analytics while minimizing data silos.
Continuously monitor system performance and pipeline health using observability tools (e.g., Datadog, Prometheus, OpenTelemetry).
Rapidly diagnose and resolve issues in production environments to ensure uninterrupted data flow and availability.
Implement data security, access controls, and compliance standards.
Promote best practices in coding standards, CI/CD pipelines, version control (e.g., Git), and DevOps for data infrastructure using tools like Terraform or Kubernetes.
Stay ahead of the curve by investigating emerging data engineering technologies, open-source frameworks, and cloud-native capabilities.
